What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Earthy, horse-blanket, complex barrel-aged sour with plenty of vanillin to add roundness to the funky front. Delicate white pepper, general lemon acidity, funk, and what comes across as a touch of smoked chile pepper.”
Flavor: “Moderate sour up front with a mild pepper spiciness that sneaks in. Pineapple and apricot notes with a slight lemon brightness. Well balanced among wood, spice, tart, and earthy.”
Overall: “Fun and complex beer with many layers. Sour in the front, spicy pepper in the back. A well-balanced combo with a medium body and mild carbonation to support the flavors.”
What the Brewers Say
“Two-year-old Lambic in which elderberry flowers have been soaked. The character of the elderberry flowers lends this beer a very pronounced, floral taste that is nevertheless very refreshing. The fragrances and flavours of the elderberry flowers are very strong, so much so that we have to select lambics with enough character to enable us to strike the right balance between the beer and the flower.
